He explained that this extended illumination time is sufficient to provide lighting even if the studs have been covered in snow or road dirt or if weather conditions have been poor, for example. The units are said to be durable and have sealed components that ensure long working life even in poor conditions, while providing visibility over around ten times the distance of that for conventional retroreflective studs.
Also new are lower cost solar studs for use in cycleways and pedestrian paths. A novel feature is that they radiate light out 360° horizontally but not upwards, minimising disturbance to insect life and therefore, ensuring bat habitats remain undisturbed.
Another key innovation is the AI technology that can blur faces filmed on traffic counting CCTV equipment. The package records the number of pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles passing a point for traffic data purposes. However, an option can blur the faces of people or vehicle registration plates if required by GDPR legislation.
